House Republicans Request Documents and Communications from White House Regarding Hunter Biden’s Deposition in Impeachment Inquiry

In a move that expands the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Republican leaders of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees have requested documents and communications from the White House regarding Hunter Biden’s decision not to comply with a congressional subpoena for a deposition.

In a letter to White House counsel Edward Siskel, Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan requested documents and communications between White House staff in the Executive Office of the President and Hunter Biden or his lawyers regarding his scheduled deposition, which was supposed to happen on Dec. 13.

The letter also asks for all “documents and communications sent or received by employees of the Executive Office of the President regarding the deposition of Hunter Biden,” as well as any records “sent or received by any other person or entity regarding the deposition of Hunter Biden.”

The request for documents and communications is part of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden, which is focused on whether the president was involved in his son’s decision not to comply with the congressional subpoena.

The White House has not yet responded to the request for documents and communications, but it is expected to do so in the coming days. It is unclear what documents and communications the White House may have regarding Hunter Biden’s decision not to comply with the congressional subpoena.
